Bright Horizons child care centers, preschools and schools include a premier early education curriculum and knowledgeable educators and teachers who meet the needs of children at every age and stage. At Bright Horizons, you’ll find infant or toddler care, preschool and pre K programs, kindergarten, elementary schools, and Montessori schools. We also understand the many needs of working parents.
The first time I dropped off my son for backup care, I could see right away how happy and comfortable he felt. A month later, I enrolled him two days a week, and each time he seems happy and excited to return. During that time, we also got to know the teachers and staff, who have all been so warm, caring, and welcoming. Seeing how much he enjoys being there and how well he’s cared for has given us such peace of mind. That’s why we’ve decided to enroll him full-time starting next week. We’re truly grateful for the loving and nurturing environment you’ve created for him.

I dropped my 11 month old son here for the day for a Bright Horizons Backup, and it was great! Beautiful spacious center. Friendly folks, and my little guy had a great day!
Smooth online process to set up a backup reservation, and fill out the forms. And then I called just to check in and make sure everything was OK and they were very friendly and helpful ahead of time. It worked out great!

You get lucky and it has been so nice so far until there is a new kid in a class who scratches many kids in the class. The center will then bring in the regional manager to tell the parent of the kid who got 5 scratches on the face (with one very close to eye) and observed that the new kid trying to poke his eyes first hand! to find new daycare if we expected no injuries!!!!!
Well done! They have a nice and new facility but seriously need new manager or better way to handle a situation.

The teachers at Kendall center are wonderful! They go above and beyond to take care of the children. Even the same chain at different locations is different in many ways. The quality of service at this location in excellent right from the center director Kayla who is friendly and accommodating your requests. The center has many kids activities besides the curriculum like halloween pumpkin patch, fun activities for fund raising in summer which kids enjoy and birthday celebrations. They have never missed an app update for a single day and the teachers cover for one another when someone is absent. My son goes to K-prep and they have a very structured curriculum tailored for kid/s and truly care for the children and love their job which is crucial.
